Abstract

Objective: Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is one of the most important pathogens causing invasive infectious diseases, especially in the first two years of life. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate Hib and other Haemophilus spp. bacteria isolated from children as a cause of invasive disease. Material and Methods: The rich medium and also Gram stain, Haemophilus influenzae poliantiserum ve Haemophilus influenzae type b antiserum was used for determination of Haemophilus influenza spp. Results: Four Hib strains were isolated from totally 43 (9.4%) cerebrospinal fluid and also seven Hib, five non Hib, six Haemophilus spp. were isolated from nasal, eye material and sputum. Conclusion: These results showed that Hib and other Haemophilus spp. infections are important for infants in our region.

Özet

Amaç: Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infeksiyonları özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde iki yaş altı çocuklarda invaziv infeksiyonlara yol açan önemli hastalık etkenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada çocuklardaki hastalık materyallerinden izole edilen Hib ve diğer Haemophilus türü bakterilerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çocuklardaki hastalık materyallerinden Haemophilus influenzae izolasyonu için besiyerine ekimin yanısıra (X ve V faktörlerini içeren supplementli (Thayer Martin Supplement II) çukulatamsı agar besiyeri) bakteri tanımlaması için Gram boyalı inceleme sonrası X, V, X+V diskleri (Oxoid), Haemophilus influenzae poliantiserum (Difco) ve Haemophilus influenzae type b antiserum (Difco) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Toplam 43 beyin-omurilik sıvısı örneğinden dördünde (%9.4) Hib üretilirken kulak akıntısı, burun sürüntüsü, balgam ve göz sürüntüsünden oluşan toplam 108 materyalde de yedi adet Hib, beş Hib dışı Haemophilus influenzae ve altı adet te Haemophilus türü bakteri üretilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar bölgemizde hem Hib hem de Haemophilus türü bakterilerin küçük bebek ve çocuklarda önemli hastalık etkenleri arasında yer almakta olduğunu göstermektedir.
